FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV).

The author believes that genetic engineering is trivialized and, "When they write about these dangers, they write it as if these are small facts which need to be ignored and that it would be better to focus on the bigger picture."

An example the author uses to support his case is "Cows that are injected with rBST, a hormone that increases milk production, produce milk that can actually be a reason for cancer formation in humans."

Another example the author uses is that "Transgenic crops that are used for food production may cause serious health problems in the future such as antibiotic resistance and allergy formation in otherwise healthy individuals."

The author is a pessimistic about the future and believes that "years from now, the problem may be such that it can no longer be controlled."

The author questions the ethically side of this issue by saying, "Nature has already provided the earth with a system by which all things should exist."

Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION): 
This site has no author but was written for a specific audience. The author only focus on the disadvantages of genetic engineering, in food, humans, and in crops. The author also brings up both a logical and an ethical issue about genetic engineering. 


Credibility of Source: 
Author or Site: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the site. What is the purpose of the site? Who funds the site? 
This site does not seem credible at all. There is no author or very many sponsors. There are also many adds on the page. The site however does seem to want to get people to recognize the disadvantages of genetic engineering.


Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business? 
There is no other reason to write this article but to inform those interested of the negative affects of genetic engineering.


Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing? 
There is a very clear bias. The author only address the disadvantages of genetic engineering and does not consider any of the advantages. The argument is very one sided.


References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility? 
There are no references or studies stated which weakens the argument of the author; however, the author does use very logical examples.


Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
Ill uses this source as a source of disadvantages of genetic engineering.
